    Too many people associate the term MUD with the originator of the
    species, when people think MUD they think, 'where are the zombies?', 'how
    do i rent?', 'how come i cant kill you?'.
    (Once, some mud had a link to a moo i used avidly a few years ago, for
    weeks people would connect and ask where to find 'zombies' and 'mobs', we
    eventually banned the site.)
    I generally refer to the whole schmear of muds, moos, mushes, mucks, etc
    as M*, although MUVE is an ..um..interesting.. new name.
